The Tourism Society's Dictionary for the Tourism Industry (3rd ed.)

摘要

Every profession and industry seems to generate a language all of its own. Communication amongst those within the industry can therefore be relatively easy. However, for newcomers or outsiders, the jargon, acronyms and abbreviations used can be confusing and sometimes even threatening. The tourism industry is no exception to this with terms such as floatel, skycap, holding pen and Mae West being almost meaningless to those on the outside. The Tourism Society has therefore updated their dictionary to take account of recent industry developments.
